The video gathered quite a strong reaction on social media over the weekend.
Over the weekend, a video emerged of a MAGA-hat wearing army of Trump supporters attending the Indigenous People’s March in Washington D.C.
The teenage boys in the video have been heavily criticised for their behaviour at the event, as they can be seen mocking and laughing at an elderly Native American man, while also seemingly attempting to intimidate the man (it didn’t work).
Since then, the mother of one of the boys in the video has blamed “black Muslims” for what happened in the video, as it was actually them who were harassing the MAGA-hat wearing students first…
In an e-mail written to a reporter at Heavy.com, the mother said: “Shame on you! Were you there? Did you hear the names the people where calling these boys? It was shameful. Did you witness the black Muslims yelling profanities and video taping trying to get something to futher (sic) your narrative of hatred?? Did you know that this “man” came up to this one boy and drummed in his face? Shame on you. Only reporting what you want. More fake news.”
Not much of a surprise that the words “fake news” were thrown in there at the end…
The Indigenous Peoples March is neither a partisan nor explicitly anti-Trump event, which made the actions of the MAGA mob even more bewildering.
